Belly Fat, Insulin Resistance, and a Hack to Beat Them Both
Whether you are a man or a woman, the deep fat that builds up in your belly greatly increases your risk of insulin resistance. In fact, when scientists surgically removed 18% of the belly fat in obese mice, their insulin sensitivity improved, and their onset of diabetes was delayed. This is not a video on how to surgically remove belly fat, and we are not mice, but I do have a daily strategy that you can use to fight back against belly fat and insulin resistance. Best of all, you can start doing this today, using - eTRE, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Cheese.

I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it but drink any acid drinks (lemon, vinegar) with a straw to protect your tooth enamel 😁
When I drink with a straw it affects/irritates my throat.
@@movementbuilders8828 dilute it
Also rinse with water after you drink acidic drinks.
@@sprestyly That's a helpful idea !
Just clean your teeth straight after.
I'm 70 & started doing 19-20 hr fasts 2 weeks ago. End of first week I did one 24 hr fast then for 2 days did 14 hr. fast I don't eat bread or carbs on fast days.. but indulge on non fast days. Also I cut back on sugar. Cravings have stopped! I started ACV in water to break the fast.. then ate 2T. vanilla yogurt. Later I had one small meal with protein. I am NOT hungry at ALL! Today for the first time I felt happy & full of energy! I started doing easy wall planks, squats, leg & arm exercises with 3# weights! I'm in shock.. haven't felt like this in decades! I have had severe depression most of my life.. Today is a new beginning! 🎉 I'm even happier that I get to eat CHEESE!😋
Congrats on your new outlook and progress!
I'm 65yrs old, being a trucker all my working yrs, I accumulated a nice supply of belly fat & insulin resistance to go along with it, now that I'm retired, I've been concentrating on my health, I practice intermittent fasting along with resistance training, I look & feel better than I did in my 40's when it comes to Apple Cider Vinegar, after being an alcoholic all my adult life, taking a nice swig is nothing to me, that's my alcohol these days, I consume before dinner and before bed it has helped me tremendously, I make sure I keep some in my car to have it while eating out or away from home, great content, although I hear it from other content creators, we tend to let things slip if we're not careful 👍
Way to go!
Hi, Louis. Please dilute the ACV with water, undiluted vinegar of any kind can damage your throat and esophagus, plus it can cause damage to the enamel of your teeth. 2 tbsp of acv to 1 cup of water. Take care.
@@dominusstyx Duly noted ✅️
@@Everythingunderthesun315 Yw, it has been a pleasure ride!
Use a STRAW for any acidic intake to protect your teeth. Also, adjust the dosage so it's safe, too much acid can strain your kidneys. A couple of tablespoons worth before a major meal is enough, if you take more than dilute it in water. (Hint: never take more than two major meals in a day, usually 16 hours or more should be in a fasted state or taking very small amounts of food that are easy to digest and **don't** create massive blood sugar/insulin spikes).
I'm not hungry in the morning , I skip breakfast, have seamoss,shot of iron. Lunch I have lettuce, tomatoes, little cheese, cucumber, red onions ,I soak my thin slice onions in mother cider vinegar. I sprinkle cayenne pepper, drizzle olive oil with lemon sea salt pepper, tumeric. I was so full, I didn't want any dinner. Cayenne pepper is no joke. I drink water, water, I treat myself to cucumber ice tea.
I find it easier to have dinner at a normal time 6-7pm, then skip breakfast and have lunch 12-1pm for 18 hours of fasting. Similar to the cheese strategy, I add some heavy cream (no carbs, no spike in insulin) to my coffee in the morning to get me through the morning without any hunger.
I’ve been doing almost exactly what you are doing. I have been eating three stalks of celery with a little low carb ranch dressing near bedtime if I’m feeling hunger pangs.
Yes, I use the heavy cream in my coffee, too.....wish I'd discovered that years ago!
Me too
Same but I have to do green tea first thing to halt the dawn phenomenon sugar rise before coffee.
Agree with you
I make a drink consisting of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, stevia and fresh minced ginger. It tastes so good.
Better to use honey as Stevia.
@@taniahjahmad fructose is harmful. But I agree that stevia is no good.
I don't add Stevia or honey! Just ACV, lemon juice, tumeric, ginger. Sometimes ACV and Alma powder.
@@olderandwiser127 I do use honey on my avocado and black seeds powder.
@@taniahjahmad Not necessarily. As long as the stevia is pure and organic with NO added ingredients, it won’t spike your blood sugar😊
I do IF, but it’s really important to me to eat at the table as a family every night - it’s a ritual that we value. So my fast starts straight after dinner, which is by 7pm 🙂. Love your videos!
Just recently discovered Dr. Becky and really appreciate her calm disposition.
Thankyou Dr Becky, this was super helpful! I've been trying to do intermittent fasting but I always get hungry in the morning. Having an early dinner works better for me and its helpful to see that a study was done about exactly this. This type of fast is much more doable for me. Thanks again :)
As a Wisconsinite who recently got into fasting, this is the most electrifying news I've heard in years. Mobilizing Gouda reserves now.
😂
Cheese Heads unite. Im from MN but I agree~ come on over and bring the cheese!
Very informative. I'll implement this strategy tonight. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video. Thank you for your tips and most of all the inspiration you give to your followers.
I have this last snack at least 3/4 hours before bedtime. 2spoons linseeds/ Flaxseed 1 spoon chia seeds Mashed up Blueberries And a little coconut milk. Good fats And will keep you full up for a long time and doesn't affect blood sugar. Been doing it for years!
Never eat carbs and fat together
@@phoenixrisin2269 Blueberries are only used as carbs and are not even worth worrying on the glycemic index or insulin release. Did I mention I have 5 qualifications in health and fitness and human nutrition And 43 years experience!
How could this NOT affect blood sugar? It's food. Plus blueberries--sugar.
@@eh3477 blueberries are about the only few fruits which are okay with ketogenic diet. You can check it out yourself!
@eh3477 right. Completely false info. Actually any food we eat does cause an insulin response, just some things easy more and worse than others. Blueberries are sugar and seeds have carbs so she's def uneducated in this area.
Thank u. So simple and so well explained. No nonsense and straight to point.
It's so easy once you've done keto first and become fat adapted. I've been eating two meals a day for years. Breakfast at 6 and lunch/ dinner at 12. Then I go 18 hours without a grumble or even a thought about food.
Have you had any thyroid or constipation issues with the fasting?
I am most grateful for your informative video on these topics, they are very well presented and useful. A big thank you , best wishes from Greece x
Its so nice to see a Dr who seems to genuinely want to help people, as opposed to pushing products for pay out. Thank you for sharing your expertise! Even if perhaps this method is unsuccessful for me, I can walk away with dignity - instead of feeling like I got scammed. As a new subscriber; i'll look forward to your future videos!
If you're referring to Dr. Eric Berg as a "scammer," he most certainly is not. He gives sound, excellent advice, he researches everything thoroughly, and if he finds that things have changed--new studies have come out, information has changed, etc.---he immediately makes a video correcting his previous information. He does have his own line of products that one can buy, but he doesn't "push products for payout," and all of his information is free for the watching.
So happy to find out about these studies’ findings!
You always have valuable content and you present the information in a way that is non-threatening, emphasizing options and ways to ease into changes. Thank you so very much for your work.
Thank you, Mary Jane!
Hello 👋how’re you doing?
@@beckygillaspy perhaps cheese has a higher insulin impact than a glucose impact, thereby resulting in a net reduction of glucose.
Finally, a video that is short and to the point!
Yes!👏
I always like vinegar as a kid. This is easy for me!😂 I lost enough weight when I stopped eating after 7pm. Four pm will never happen with the family dinner at 6pm. I’m 60 and I do consume ACV before some meals. I have six pack abs, and I weight train.
Awesome, thanks for the GREAT Tips. I will follow Your Routine.
You should make youtube videos on how you train, your diet and how to have 6 pack at your age.
Fabulous ! I love vinegar all of my life ,I used to drink dressing after eating salads as a kid !! Lol. I drink organic apple cider vinegar w/ MOTHERS ,too ! But, still ...have fat !! Lol. Although ,it flattens for sure !! It's mainly due to my bad sleeping habits ! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
@@spark_6710 maybe you should track your food consumption and move
Move !?
This is the most intellectual discussion on belly fat . Thank You .
Your introduction and how you described essentially diabetes - and the vicious cycle / snowballing effect was flawless and well said.
Your support is so greatly appreciated. I am working hard to return to my normal weight after two years of being on a high dose of Prednisolone and now also 18 months into the menopause at the age of 52. Your videos have been a great help - thank you so much.
Make sure you get plenty of sunshine for vitamin D. It's so critical for women at menopause age for their hormones.
Can you share w. Us updates on how you're doing? I struggle to lose weight simply because I'm physically disabled and working out/even walking is now difficult. I'm disciplined enough to skip meals, and fast for faith reasons, but that's NOT dieting per day.
@@sherylreed3558 Hi Sheryl! I have lost 9lbs in weight over the last sixteen days. I have found Dr Becky's advice extremely helpful and practical. It has helped me to make small but sustainable adjustments to my eating habits. I have cut out sugar and have a moderate protein, low carb diet without snacking. I think the most significant change for me has been re-setting my sleep schedule. I have spent the last four years only managing on between three and five hours sleep a night because I was uncomfortable and in pain - and when the pain was no longer there, the poor sleeping habits remained. I have found taking Vitamin D before bed helps the quality of my sleep and I've given myself a rigid bedtime so I can re-train myself with the same discipline that we use with children. I'm now getting between seven - nine hours sleep a night and feeling far better for it. I am not ready for 'advanced' fasting at this point. I have been eating between midday and seven in the evening and this is comfortable for me right now. I have been doing resistance training at the gym - 40 minutes four times a week and walking every day for at least half an hour. There are some good videos to be found on KZhead for chair fitness routines and chair-based yoga which might help you - I have been breaking up my working day with chair-based yoga since January, as my job is sedentary. I'm pleased with my current rate of progress because I am still on daily steroid medication (tapering by 1mg per month) and I'm feeling healthy with plenty of energy. I have 5 stone in weight to lose to return to my original weight before my illness and this does not seem so daunting now that I am finally losing for the first time in four years. Wishing you the best of luck with your weight loss journey, Sheryl and thank you so much for your interest. xxx
Not to be an ■sshole or whatever, but this video is a joke. Here's why: The lady clearly states that the goal is to control blood sugar levels but then tells you to drink vinegar *_instead of telling you to stop eating things that raise your blood sugars in the first place._* Can you see how much of a joke that is? It's like someone telling you to run 20 miles to burn off the pizza you just ate instead of telling you to not eat the pizza in the first place. If you want to lose fat rapidly, control your blood sugar levels with ease, and put diabetes (type 2) into full remission, just stop eating things that raise your blood sugar. In other words, cut out carbohydrates. All carbohydrates - including the ones from fruits and vegetables - break down into glucose after being eaten. That glucose (sugar) raises your blood sugar levels. Your body responds by releasing insulin. Insulin tells your cells to store any extra blood sugar that your muscles won't use as fat. In short: Carbs ⬇️ Sugar ⬇️ Insulin ⬇️ ✅️ Fat storing mode ❌️ Fat burning mode If you cut out the carbs, you never start that chain reaction that leads to fat storing mode and the new situation looks like this: ❌️ Fat storing mode ✅️ Fat burning mode Keeping your carbohydrate intake to 20g total per day is low enough to prevent that fat storing mode from triggering. But, if you want maximum fat burning mode, just cut out *_ALL_* carbs. For maximum fat-burning: ■ "Carnivore" diet - meat ( *_with the fat_* ), sea food, eggs, butter/ghee, salt, water ■ Eat one *_huge_* meal per day (lunch) ■ No carbs - bread, oats, cereal, candy, "health bars," fruit, fruit juice, vegetables I lost 30lbs in 90 days doing that. And I didn't do a minute of exercise. And I just got my before-and-after blood test results back - so many great improvements, and nothing got worse. Anyway, I'm sure this lady means well, but, she's offering some really strange advice here. Cutting carbs is the #1 best way to rapidly and safely lose fat. There are two downsides though: 1) Sugar withdrawals - you will probably get headaches, be tired, and irritable for a week because of coming off of sugar addiction. It can be miserable but it will pass. It's like quitting caffeine or nicotine. 2) Diarrhea (temporary) - Your gall bladder won't be used to making enough bile to process so much animal fat. This will cause diarrhea until your gall bladder "wakes up" and increases bile production. It took me about 9 days. Anyway, peace and love to everyone.

This is off topic but I absolutely love your voice. It's so soothing
As always Dr Becky….thank you very much. Love your channel! ♥️from 🇨🇦 (I’ve been absent for a while…dealing with some health stuff 🙂)
I do 16/8 intermittent fasting. Eat window is 8 am to 4 pm. Honestly, seriously...eating high protein, high ish fat during my eating window has made keeping this eating window easy. Yes, I mean easy.
Thank you Doctor this is a great information. Does the type of cheese matter or will any cheese work with the ACV at bedtime?
Jackpot!!! Great video!! A qualified person! Good information and someone with a pleasant personality!!!💯
“All the good ones are taken.” Good protocol, great preso.
In the past, I have taken hibiscus tea with ACV and cinnamon at bedtime. This video has motivated me to start doing that again while gradually adjusting the tea/ACV proportions.
How much ACV and cinnamon?
@@ChristineLV I started off with 1/2 Tbsp of ACV and 1/2 Tbsp of liquid Ceylon cinnamon. I gradually increased the ACV until I reached 2 Tbsp. I didn’t increase the cinnamon because of the cost.
I love hibiscus! Great idea!
2 teaspoon a day in 2 liter water suits me or cause me ezema level dry patches.
What did this do for you
I actually love the taste of apple cider vinegar, so I think it's funny that she keeps saying it tastes so bad that you have to mix it with something. I love the taste of it.
Yeah it’s like apple juice without the suger
Same it's not even that bad
Yikes . I’m nauseous immediately every time I take it and that’s after years of random off on .
Me too 😊. I actually make my own.
My husband can't stand it. I find it quite refreshing, which he thinks is bizarre. 🤣 To each his own.
Great information. I’m pre diabetic and I’m going to try it. I really like your presentation style: informative, well researched and presented. I’ve learned so much from your videos. Thank you!
Dr Becky do you have any videos on the right way to fast? Thanks your videos are helpful.
Sekanjabinis an ancient Persian vinegar-mint beverage, sweetened with sugar or honey but I use Monkfruit sweetener. Muddle fresh mint, Monk fruit sweetener (to taste) and 2 tablespoons ACV with ice in a large glass. Top with water and stir. Enjoy. I served this to a friend and she described it as something you would be served at a spa. It is very refreshing, especially on a hot summer's day. I hope this would be an acceptable way to take the ACV.
This Dr's videos helped me, was instrumental, in my loss of 20lbs over the holidays and lowering my IR marker from 65 to 39; well below the recommendation!
How did you measure your IR?
He said “IR marker.” Based on the numbers he gave, it was probably a triglyceride test ordered by his doctor.
@@kimthomas9836 Hello Kim, how are you doing?
Great info, great presentation! Working like a charm for me so far. Thanks!
AWESOME INFO - Great support with beneficial info that creates strength against food addiction
Thank you for sharing this knowledge Dr. It's worth practicing in order to get rid of a potbelly
What about taking AVC GUMMIES? 4:15
I’m not sure if anyone else mentioned this method, sorry if it’s a repeat. I have been using ACV for a decade or more, especially when I get a stomachache or stomach bug, it will nix the pain or that uncomfortable feeling in minutes. I add ACV to seltzer water and it becomes a refreshing drink, instead of the harsh flavor mixed with plain water. In a pinch, I will use balsamic vinegar in the seltzer water, giving the drink even a richer flavor, still gets rid of a stomach ache or eating too much, it helps digest that full feeling faster. Thank you for the video, every suggestion that helps us naturally instead of using mainstream shelf medicine.✨💫
Good information as well as all of you video's. Thanks
Just the type of website I am looking for. Good info well researched. I’m an night shift RN , but I think I can make this work. Thank you
Hi. First I would like to say thank you for time you spend explaining so important information. You are the one who put me on IF and low carb diet. It was three years ago. Since then I have learned a lot from my and a few more trustful sources. I never liked breakfast, so I have breakfast just on Sunday. So I usually have fasting around 16 hours. Sometimes I do OMD. Maximum I have done is 56 hours fast. My question is, if I have dinner, but no breakfast, and I take ACV after dinner, would it be beneficial as well? Thanks 🙂🙂🙂
Taking ACV before a meal is a common way to benefit from the blood sugar control.
This is the final piece of the jigsaw i was missing.72 hours of fasting achieved but still no shifting the belly fat.Thank you Dr Becky,immensely relevant information here.
Well, did it solve the puzzle? Did it work?
@@slimelove3493 Yes and no.Remarkable differences to addressing my achiles tendonosis and trapezoidal inflammation issues but still stubborn ab fat remains which could be cortisol storage, so it doesn't worry me as such.Not inclined to pursue the 'body beautiful' malarkey.The 'body acceptable' suits me fine (A new attitude has formed).Flat, but none of that hideous six packery narcissism for me.just a liver uncompromised by visceral fat and an immunity reset twice a year is my goal from now on.
@@earlgrey691 thanks and godspeed
Such a lovely, calming voice, coupled with data based medical advice.
Thank you for sharing this Becky.
This is an interesting video. When I was pregnant with my 6th baby I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I discovered through trial and error that consuming a slice of cheese and 6 raisins before bed lowered my fasting blood sugars. I did this in combination with grass-fed beef pancreas supplements. The combination of all this, plus a lower carb diet helped me control my blood sugars without medication.
A much safer approach. ACV wrecks your potassium levels
Low carb helps a lot to reduce blood sugar.
@@royalregal722 not if you mix it with LMNT
@@modelsupplies lmnt ?
@@royalregal722 you can add 1/2 tsp to 1tsp of cream of tartar to your acv drink for potassium
Just food for thought... I once lost a total of 40 pounds in 60 days eating cheese. Cheese (as much as you like) and coffee for breakfast... Eight (8) small squares of Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese and a diet drink for lunch and a grilled cheese (American) sandwich for dinner along with another diet drink. If I got hungry (rarely) before bed, I would take one small square of Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese and nibble on it slowly...that would do the trick. Before I knew it, I had exceeded my weight loss goal... Just my two cents... Thoroughly enjoyed this upload... Thumbs up and a sub from me... Stay safe... Rico
Thank you for this video. I use ACV a lot at night but not on a consistent basis. Interesting about the cheese addition. I will need to try it. I intermittent fasting most days. Sometimes 36 to 72 hour fast. I have missed not seeing any new videos for 2fitdocs. Thank you for this update.
Thank you for this video. Is there a specific type of cheese you should eat?
Thank you so much for making all this useful information available at no cost, and in such a pleasant and easy-to-understand way. I'm a student who's been struggling with this issue and your content has been so incredibly helpful to me. I can't stand the taste of anything vinegary so thank you for sharing methods to deal with that. You're the best Dr. Becky 🤍
Thank you Dr. Becky. The low carb-ing is great. The weight is staying off, and so are my big guy clothes.
Thank you Becky for this information! I appreciate the natural approach to target both insulin and belly fat issues. I have tried all the "get fast result" pills and was disappointed. I will try this regimen along with exercise. BTW- your calming voice is also motivating 😊
Why does having low fasting glucose affect overall insulin use? What is it about it that makes it effective overall for lowering blood sugar?
omg. listen. the ONLY thing you need for fat loss is calorie defecit. thats it. nothing else!
Hello from Northern Ireland Dr Becky great video thanks
Much appreciated. I like the 3 count items: The live clock (first of the three!) helps make the time matter almost palpable. Very helpful since it reinforces Time and timing as an indispensable Factor! Brilliant!
I make “Ketorade” with ACV, NoSalt, and lemon juice by the gallon. I have a big stainless tumbler that I fill with ice, pour in 1/2 Ketorade and 1/2 sugar free ginger ale. It makes it tolerable for me, and it takes me all day to drink it all.
Hey, Dr. Becky. Love your content. My sister sent me this link. Fascinating information about snacking. I've become a better snacker. IF has helped tremendously because I'd rather not break my fast for a snack. Thanks again for sharing. 😊👍
YOU made it look so simple thank you so much i will be trying this
Hi Dr. Becky. I love your videos and have a question. I've been intermittent fasting with 2 meals during a 4-6 eating window. I occasionally only do 1 meal. I saw your video that says women over 50 could eat at 8am then again at 4pm to see good results. I was wondering which method is better in your opinion, a longer fast or 2 meals spaced out by 8 hrs? I'm also wondering how often I should limit doing a 38 or more hr fast? Thanks and I appreciate you!
none of this is relevant. Just eat less food and do some exercise. Eat 100 times a day or 1. Food is just energy. Fat is just excess energy.
I like to get my ACV in the form of a homemade salad dressing...EVOO, ACV, mustard of some type, seasonings, etc...All great components for health. It makes it more tolerable, for me anyway. But liking the addition of cheese before bed w/my vinegar. I've sorta gotten outta the habit of taking ACV (or any kind of vinegar) before meals, to naturally lower my blood sugar after eating. Blessings from Iowa, Lauri
Appreciate the timeline, thanks!
Love the information. Any tips for 3rd shift workers? Diet routine is a beast for me.
This is so true!! I stopped eating after 4. It works! I take vinegar capsules.
ACV helps with heartburn too. I make like a hot apple cider that you can actually drink. 6oz of hot water, 1tbsp ACV, 2 tbsp raw organic honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. So good!! Just make sure you brush after for your tooth enamel.
I add some ginger to this. Taste and smells like apple pie
Brushing right after you drink acid is the worst for your enamel! You're scrubbing away at softened enamel. Rinse with water and brush later.
Doing this tonight! Thank you! Will post back.
Thanks for the video. Definitely going to try this. 😊
I just prepared a concoction of ACV, ginger juice and water in a quart Mason jar before viewing this. It's my go-to beverage when I want to feel refreshed. I suppose the ginger juice adds carbs I don't need, but I like the spicy heat it adds on a cold winter night. I have noticed whenever I have ACV my belly fat isn't quite as pronounced. For the next month, I'm going to adhere to your recommendation as I reconnect to my former Keto, IF plan to help lower my blood sugar and lose weight.
I feel great fasting but I know I'm eating too late. I will try this, thank you.
I don’t understand how this worked. I have been at a stall even with IF for 16:8 and keeping carbs at 20. The weight just would not budge. The only change was this and I stopped eating an hour earlier. It doesn’t make sense that interrupting my fast with an ounce of cheese before bed worked. Amazing! Thank you Dr Becky!
Great stuff. I already do the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice in the am. Will add this to my pre-bed ritual.
I used to drink dry cider and now I take ACV with sparkling water and a bit of ice. Tastes the same to me, I think the chill and fizz both mitigate the sourness of the ACV. Also makes a nice change from green tea or black coffee that I only have early in the day.
Sounds good! I'll try this.
Thanks, Dr. Becky for your always calm, intelligent, science-backed advice. I find drinking ACV with lemon juice so much more palatable. Since I close my IF window at 3 or 3:30 pm, (and I think I'm finally insulin sensitive), I am hesitant to add cheese later in the day, regardless of the low carb content, but will definitely try the ACV close to bedtime.
I also feel I can do it without the cheese. Interesting that the study omitted the ACV and not the cheese.
Did she ever say what kind of cheese?I didn't hear. I've scoured through most of the comments and nobody mentions which type of chees she says to consume.
@@davidsquire1098probably just cheddar
Can you surgically remove belly fat?
Does it help lower our morning blood sugar more if we take only ACV?
Thank you Dr. Becky, do you need to eat cheese does it have some kind of chemical reaction or can you only drink the apple cider vinegar water?
Great Videos to support strength and overcoming body issues
This is exactly what I do and I use the keto plan religiously (under 50 carbs per day). It's so easy! But then, I love fat: nuts, cheese, cream, butter, seafood, non-starch veggies, etc. Doing this - plus eating very little food after lunch, just a bit of cheese. Apple cider vinegar is wonderful - every a.m. I also shake a lot of turmeric into my food and drink. Looking great in my clothes was my vain goal, and I reached it: thirty pounds gone in three months, with no pain/no gain. Still doing it a year later and lovin' it. (Heavy cream in your coffee??? Lots of butter on your veggies or baked fish??? Yummy. You won't crave food any longer. It's carbs/sugar that trigger cravings. I never think about food any more unless it's "time to eat.")
For the years I have been fasting and following so many cooks who also fast, I created ACV popsicles! They are amazing. I use tumeric, (sometimes collagen), healing (non sweet) herbal tea (as the base=water), cayenne (the best part), stevia (based on which science studies you follow, does not break my fast or spike glucose), Lemon or Lime and sea salt (I prefer flower of the ocean). I make these ahead of time and they are simply delicious! When my mouth 'get lonely' and I was a beginner faster, I used this to bridge my fasting hours. Now I love them and have them even in my eating window after eating. My 'meals' are 'snack sized' and full of variety with protein as the opening act always (no shakes or bars, real protein). ACV is a MUST but besides salad dressings and marinades, there are so many ways to consume it!
Proportions?
😊
I tried this before but not like this.I will try.I'm going to let you know.Thanks for sharing and please keep up this amazing work you do and God bless you.
Great info...great presentation!
Hi Dr Becky, just found you on KZhead. Thank you so much for your helpful advice. GPs in Australia seem to have little knowledge of new research in nutrition and since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I've been left pretty much to sink or swim on my own. Not very successfully at first but recently I've been combining intermittent fasting 16/8 with a keto eating program put together by myself and have managed to reduce my BGL from consistently awfully high 12-14mmol/L to an average 4.4, but I'm not losing weight... I am carrying it mostly in my belly. My question is, I usually fast from 5pm, won't I break my fast and negate it's benefits if I have the vinegar and cheese an hour before bed?
I’m just reading the comments and it seems taking ACV before 3-4 hours bed and during your fast does not break the fasting.
The ACV won't impact the fast but 1oz cheese might, except that according to the principles underlying Dr. Valter Longo's "Fasting Mimicking Diet," if you have less than 750 cal, mostly from fat, and/or less than 18g of protein, and very little carbs, it won't interfere with the goals of a fast, even a long term one.
In the last month my belly fat has skyrocketed and I don’t know why!! Thanks for the tips!
Me too (I can actually grab a handful of fat there) and, yet, the rest of me is slim and kinda bony. I'm thinking it must be due to a hormonal imbalance because I eat healthily, am very physically active 7 days p/w and already do Intermittent Fasting. It's maddening!
Great information ! Thank you Becky! I miss Keith, hope he is ok.
Thank you so much for this😊
The cheese may be the real blessing here -as you said - the fat/protien/low carb content. This may cut the night-time, low blood sugar wakening. When this happens, sleep cannot be regained until something is eaten. Historically a lower sugar item like a small apple or homemade sugar free muffin (also very small), prompts sleep. Otherwise 4 -6 hours of wakefulness can be expected. As this is a recent phenomenon - searching for other strategies is mandated. Already 18/6 Intermittent Fasting is in place but concentration on Morning fasting, rather than evening as evening is family together time. The ACV will be trialed as well as small amt cheese. Thank you so, so much! Love that you are moderately paced in your explanation, that you provide the reasons and that you are gentle and even a little humorous in your approach!
You are very good at communicating thoroughly yet succinctly. Great information; excellent presentation. Maybe do more videos so you can help more and more people? Regardless, thank you. I 'bite the bullet' and just drink the apple cider vinegar straight from the bottle! But I START (rather than stop) eating around 4 pm, so I should try doing my 20 hour or so fasts so that I FINISH eating by 3 or 4 pm.
great question. I usually eat between 6pm and 8pm, so I can have dinner with my family . I.F. has to be sustainable and that's how I made it work the past several years. BTW I am down 60 pds in past several years using a better diet, more exercise and consistent intermittent fasting.
Drinking straight acv would burn my throat and damage tissue. I always delute it.
@@texasca9753 I do 'chase' the apple cider vinegar right away with water, and I also try to drink some water before I drink the apple cider vinegar.
Vinegar will destroy your enamel on your teeth, vinegar is acid.
Great information. Is there a recommended time period once should shoot for (i.e., 2 weeks, 6 months, indefinitely, etc.)?
I have been in OMAD-Clean keto for almost a year and feel great. Now, I am fasting 3-4 days a week and drinking ACV every morning.
I use filtered water, ACV, fresh lemon juice, lime juice, unsweetened cranberry juice, cinnamon, ginger and stevia. I’ve come to love this drink and now crave it!
I drink a concoction very similar to this but I add a spoon of extra virgin olive oil and a spoon of local raw honey. I now crave it too!
Are you able to share the exact recipe and the steps? You may email me.
Fantastic advice, I’ve been doing this spontaneously for two years and I’m absolutely blown away by the scientific findings you share to support this - may I share that I absolutely love the taste of apple cider vinegar, but I prefer to drink it with carbonated water, and as a variation raw raspberry vinegar ❤
New to fermentation. Can I use the mother or scobie of apple cider vinegar and add mashed raspberries to produce raspberry vinegar.
Funny- I used to LOVE the taste of AVC…in fact could not drink plain water w/out it. Got a mild case of COVID, now I can’t stand the taste of it. I just gag it down- but it’s worth it.
omg. listen. the ONLY thing you need for fat loss is calorie defecit. thats it. nothing else!
The carbonated water with ACV is a Super idea. Thanks.
@@brianbyrne3003 the ONLY way to burn fat is being in a calorie defecite
ypu are great in doing videos. and so softly spoken.
You are a gift to this world!
Thank you Dr Becky. I’m learning so much from your videos and it’s helping me tremendously with my weight loss journey. I have tried ACV in the past but never stuck to it but now I will definitely try your method tonight and stick to it. I have a lot of belly fat so this will definitely help me.
How are you doing with it?
Can you surgically remove belly fat?

Yes, very helpful as always, great info & tips, thanks Dr Becky. Although I practice 20/4 and am normal weight I still struggle with insulin resistance so I'll give it a try. Sounds like it could also help those overnight bathroom trips when insulin drops! God bless ♥️
I've been following a healthy OMAD regime and I too am struggling with insulin resistance. This is so disheartening.
This video is so on time. I read a comment this morning. They wrote they take a slice of cheese and 6 raisins for lower morning glucose levels.
Hi, Dr. Becky Gillaspy, I have been taking apple cider vinegar for years. Now that I am taking blood pressure meds such as Losartan Hctz, Metoprolol ER & Amlodipine, Is it safe to take it as long as I wait 1-2 hrs before or after taking the above meds? Any suggestions would be greatly helpful. Thanks.
Will delaying breakfast - till lunch at 12 and last meal dinner at 7 pm have a same effect? Also what about apple cider vinegar in the morning?
